Worldly Concern

Famous quotes containing the words worldly and/or concern:

    A seeming ignorance is very often a most necessary part of worldly knowledge. It is, for instance, commonly advisable to seem ignorant of what people offer to tell you; and, when they say, Have you not heard of such a thing? to answer, No, and to let them go on, though you know it already.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    It is impossible for me to envisage a picture as being other than a window, and ... my first concern is then to know what it looks out on.
    André Breton (1896–1966)
